I met a spotty dog today
He said his name was "Bark!"
I quizzed him for more details
But he thought it all a lark

So "spotty dog" he'll have to be
A name that seems quite fitting
Though other dalmations may wonder
If I deserved that vicious tail whipping

Nah, you don't get away with "fitting" and "whipping". And the last
line didn't scan - "vicious tail" was too long ;-)

It should have been:

Though other dalmations may wonder

Why spotty dog is knitting


Hmmm, time for bed I think.

Aha! An advocate of tail docking, you wicked, person, you!

Now think about it, Chris. If I'd told the truth then this dalmation
would have been ostrasized by every other self respecting dalmation.

A stump would have been better although it wouldn't rhyme very well.
But it would have conformed to the stringent length checks. No long
tails in demon.local please! ;-)

Chris, you're going to have to keep those Dalmatians under control.

Next thing you know they'll be at your keyboard typing when they should
be doing the housework.

PS do you know many people from Croatia?
